2010 470 Nationals |
Here's an update:
470 Sailors,
I just sent out an e-vite as an informal NOR for the 470 Nationals in Stonington, CT, June 11-13th! We will have a training regatta (informal regatta with training) June 5-6, and will organize training based on demand during the week.
http://www.evite.com/pages/invite/vi...iq &src=email
Please either respond using the e-vite, or let us know if you will be coming, so that we can start organizing housing!
We can help with any logistics or questions. Please feel free to ask us (almost) anything.
Hope to see you soon!
Erin and Isabelle

470 Sailors,
After a very successful 2009 Atlantic Coast Championships last summer in Stonington, CT, we are hosting a bigger and better event this summer!
Our dates are set for:
Saturday, June 5 - Sunday, June 6: 2 day regatta
Three day training camp during the week
Friday, June 11 - Sunday, June 13: 2010 470 Nationals
The regatta will be hosted by the Stonington Harbor Yacht Club. We'll have lots of fun events: a party, barbeques, the usual. And, housing can be mostly provided.
A more formal NOR will be following, but we wanted to let you all know what the dates were. Please spread this around, and we hope you ALL can make it! Any feedback or ideas as to what you would like to see at the events and training would be much appreciated.
All the best,
Isabelle

New International Class Website |
To: National Class Associations
PRESS RELEASE - 3 MARCH 2010
The 470 Class, the Olympic equipment of choice for the men's and women's two person dinghy events, has launched a new website at www.470.org
With a focus on presenting the 470 sailors, the launch version of www.470.org is the first stage of implementation of the new website. Featuring a vibrant design to reflect the “blue” environment in which we sail and the environmentally friendly “green” profile of sailing, the website has new content, significant layout updates and innovative functionality.
External media, such as video, social networks and photos are integrated into the site to give a cohesive experience for the user and avoid jumping between different web platforms.
The home page provides a simple navigation structure and highlights the latest information from the world of 470 Sailing, including current news, results, photos, video and rankings data, profiles sailors through our “This Week's Hero” feature and a subscriber sign-up for our new monthly newsletter 470 E-Times. The Events Calendar provides enhanced event location information and a new online entry system has been introduced for the 470 Championships.
The global spread of the 470 Class is showcased through the interactive 470 World map, which in future will link to National Class Association microsites to profile their activity, sailors, results, events and more. A new membership system enables National Class Associations to submit annual activity reports, manage contact details and pay annual fees online.
As well as an enhanced user experience, the website will also provide an ideal platform for the 470 Class partners around the world to promote their services.
Commenting on the new website launch Stanislav Kassarov, 470 Class President, said, “The 470 Class is delighted with the new website. It represents our fresh approach to showcase the 470 Class and reflects our long-term strategic plan to invest in technology and set a benchmark in the promotion and administration of an Olympic Class. As well as modernising the design, we wanted to update the content and functionality of the website to fulfil the expectations of our sailors. Over the last year we have conducted informal research and the results have influenced the new website design and content. Sailing is in a competitive market – and our sailors deserve a professional web presence. This is the first step; we are continuing to develop and refine the website to meet our needs now and in the future."
The 470 Class has partnered with SailRacer.co.uk to deliver the Class' web presence, and a number of new elements will be coming online in the next months, including:
Sailor Profiles
Results and Sailor Archives
Statistics and Race Records
Comprehensive and searchable Photo Gallery and Videos
E-Commerce Opportunities
National Class Association microsites
and more ….
An objective of the 470 Class is to reduce duplication of content and eliminate the manual population of third party sites by automatically pushing out data. Coming online during May 2010, third parties will be able to easily embed 470 widgets on their own sites to take filtered content, with the option of taking RSS feeds for those sites suitably equipped. Our priority will be to encourage 470 teams, National Class Associations, sponsors and media to utilize this functionality.
Notes:
We are finalizing the online National Class Association (NCA) Membership System - which will enable you to update your activity reports, contact details and pay your Annual Membership online. We plan to send out emails tomorrow to each NCA with your User ID and Password to access this system.
Your Feedback:
We want our new website to be everything you want it to be and so would love to know your thoughts. You can be as honest as you like, so please email any (constructive) comments to manager@470.org and let me know what you think. We would also love you to spread the word about the new website via your networks.
Regards
Luissa

2010 North Americans |
010 470 North American Championships
Forty-five 470 teams from fifteen countries convened in Miami January 16-18 to sail the 2010 470 North American Championships. The event, hosted by Miami Yacht Club, saw the full spectrum of conditions, with the Race Committee reporting winds gusting over 30 kts on Saturday, a sharp frontal passage on Sunday, and light unsettled breeze on Monday.
GBR sailors Luke Patience and Stuart Bithell took first in the men and mixed division, Sofian Bouvet and Jeremie Mion (FRA) 2nd and Nick Rodgers and Pom Green (GBR) 3rd.
In the Women's championship FRA sailors Emmanuelle Rol and Helene Defranance placed first, Amanda Clark and Sarah Chin (USA) placed 2nd, and Camille Lecointre and Mathilde Geron (FRA) 3rd.
As the highest placed North American teams, Adam Roberts and Nick Martin (USA) are the 2010 Mens and Mixed North American Champions, and Amanda Clark and Sarah Chin (USA) are the 2010 Women's North American Champions
Thank you to Miami Yacht Club and Jaan Roots as Regatta Chair, to PRO Pat Seidenspinner and the Race Committee for the racing, and to the Jury.
